The line labeled "Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad" should be relabeled in the legend as "Lynn & Boston Railroad." The Lynn & Boston was a horse railroad chartered in 1859. In contrast, the Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn was a steam railroad; it should probably be shown on the map in East Boston, but it was propelled by steam locomotives, not horses.
